Big Chief Smoker take 1.

I received a smoker for christmas and finally got around to filling it with a load of whitefish. 12 hours later and i know what i'm taking for lunch tomorrow. Today's temperature ranged from -20C at 7A.M. to -5C. I'm guessing probably the temperature limit for this smoker, even with the insulating blanket....but maybe not.

A healthy amount of nordic these days. Other than Lutsen, my Boykin spaniel, up ahead, tearing the hell out of the dog trail, it was immaculate when i set out sunday morning. groomed to perfection.



Longer days and warmer sun, but still plenty of skiing left in the season.
Sorry for the lull in posting. Life beyond the interweb happens.

be well

Our man Danny has been over in Iceland going to school and liven the life. He's sent me a few snaps so far, all of which are amazing; but when today's email came with the subject line 'Somethin Special', he wasn't kidding. These made my day.

breath taking view at around 66 degrees northern latitude.







This Rules!
thanks Danny

Tonight's post comes amidst cups of minty-ginger-lemon tea and resting, as we have been bound to home by a week long midwinter head-cold of gross proportions. I'll spare you the details.

Lake Superior whitefish baked skin on.


Beauty batch of homemade granola...apple sauce from this past summer to sweeten. This along with a scoop of blueberries and a couple dollops of N's home yogurt, get me started in the morning. Pretty simple stuff, that tastes great.
